Dietary Acid Load (DAL), Glycated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and Metabolic Syndrome (MeS) Mediate the Association of the Adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension (DASH)

Nutrition is one of the most critical factors affecting the development of NAFLD. The different dietary patterns and habits can prevent or, conversely, increase the progression of NAFLD (14, 15). The relationship between dietary patterns and NAFLD has been evaluated in several studies and it has been shown that the Mediterranean diet and Adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) were inversely associated with NAFLD.
